Replacing The Fuses; Jump Starting The Machine - Toro Z Master Professional 5000 Series Operator's Manual

Replacing the Fuses

The electrical system is protected by fuses. It requires
no maintenance, however, if a fuse blows check the
component and circuit for a malfunction or short.
The fuses are located on the right console next to the
seat (Figure 58).
1. To replace the fuses, pull out the fuse to remove
it.
2. Install a new fuse

Jump Starting the Machine

1. Check and clean corrosion from the battery
terminals before jump starting. Ensure the
connections are tight.
CAUTION
Corrosion or loose connections can
cause unwanted electrical voltage spikes
at anytime during the jump starting
procedure.
Do not attempt to jump start with loose
or corroded battery terminals or damage
to the engine or EFI may occur.

DANGER
Jump starting a weak battery that is
cracked, frozen, has low electrolyte level,
or an open/shorted battery cell, can
cause an explosion resulting in serious
personal injury.
Do not jump start a weak battery if these
conditions exist.
2. Make sure the booster battery is a good and
fully charged lead acid battery at 12.6 volts or
greater. Use properly sized jumper cables with
short lengths to reduce voltage drop between
systems. Make sure the cables are color coded
or labeled for the correct polarity.
CAUTION
Connecting the jumper cables incorrectly
(wrong polarity) can immediately damage
the EFI system.
Be certain of battery terminal polarity
and jumper cable polarity when hooking
up batteries.

WARNING
Batteries contain acid and produce
explosive gases.
• Shield the eyes and face from the
batteries at all times.
• Do not lean over the batteries.
Note:
Be sure the vent caps are tight and level.
Place a damp cloth, if available, over any vent
caps on both batteries. Be sure the vehicles do
not touch and that both electrical systems are off
and at the same rated system voltage. These
instructions are for negative ground systems
only.
3. Connect the positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the discharged battery that is wired
to the starter or solenoid as shown in
